#blogbookaday: Monster Boogie

Summary:  “Laurie Berkner, “the queen of children’s music” (People), pairs the lyrics of her infectious hit song with Ben Clanton’s whimsical illustrations in this groovy and adorable picture book—a must-have for fans of Laurie, dancing, and all things monstrous!

I’m the biggest monster
that you’ve ever seen!
My eyes are purple
and my teeth are green.
I’m big and I’m scary,
you know what I mean?
And this is what I like to do… 

Boogie away those bedtime fears and embrace your inner monster with Monster Boogie, based on Laurie Berkner’s irresistibly fun song and featuring lively, playful artwork by Ben Clanton!

I do the monster boogie.
So can you!
Rraaaahhh!” (Taken from Goodreads)

Review: A creak of the closet door leads to a monster dance party for two lucky little kids! At first, they’re a little apprehensive having a monster with yellow eyes and green teeth in their bedroom, but they’re soon boogie-ing and wiggling right along with their new monster friend!

Personal Reaction: I am loving Laurie Berkner’s children’s books based on her popular music! This cute story is a perfect bedtime story for little ones who might be afraid of what’s hiding under the bed or in the closet! Turning those scary monsters into fun, partying monsters! Pair this with the song for a perfect time routine to get the wiggles out and scare away those bedtime fears!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
